Side Stand Spring fitting

Post by AFPU »

Hi All

When refitting the side stand I also fitted a new spring but am struggling to find the right place on the frame to locate the spring end.

The previous owner had it hocked onto a cable tie around the frame, which is where it is at present, but this means that it does no spring back with much vigour.

Regards
Gary

Hi Gary, if you look at this ( https://www.jampot.com/pic_display.asp?id=493 ) photo on the main site you will see where they are located if you want the stand to retract on its own, if you wish it to stay down until pushed back the you need to improvise a fitting near the front of the frame.
